Like Tears in Rain

Description

Ever since I first picked up a pencil or brush again a few years ago, I've wanted to put this moment on paper. It's one of my favourite movie scenes of all time, the best moment in the already brilliant Blade Runner. Here's the monologue the replicant, Roy Batty, gives in full, just before his death:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

It doesn't look like much on paper, but in the context of the film, and in the way it's delivered, it's absolutely amazing, moving even.

I probably should have a *spoiler alert* tag, but the film is 35 years old, if you haven't seen it by now, shame on you! ;)
